Had a terrifying moment earlier where I thought I’d lost the original pixel art for my Math Sampler– false alarm, luckily! But when I did find it I found a bunch of rejected square ideas, too, and it’s fun to see how some of the ideas got reused later on! From the top:Newton’s Cradle– cut because it’s not so much ‘mathematics’ as ‘physics’. Though I would love to make a physics-themed pattern someday…Overlapping light colors. This one’s not even a little bit mathematical, so I have no idea why it’s in there? Besides the fact that stitched optical effects are super cool to look at. (case in point)Hilbert Curve– tragically had to be cut because it couldn’t fit nicely in a 30x30 square. I made up for it by putting it in one of the Pi Day Puzzle Stitch-a-longs and one of my Octobit pieces, though. :)A Pie! Certainly the prettiest of the cut squares, but again, not mathematical enough. I remember being sad to cut this one, but just like the HIlbert curve I got to stitch one later, for Pi Day, a couple years down the line. Binary numbers: fit the theme, but not the look. This is another one that showed up in a Pi Day Stitch-a-long, where it fit the vibe a lot better. -- source link
